Liu Qingyu, Liu Hua, and Zhang Lingxue stood side by side on top of a large tree, their eyes fixed on the cave not far from their location, which was the straw hat man's hiding place.
"Lingxue, it seems we have to rely on you, especially since that man's cultivation is at 5-Star Earth Realm, so Hua'er and I are not his opponents."
Zhang Lingxue answered Liu Qingyu with a nod. "Leave him to me, but I still don't understand why Fei'er wants this man alive; could it be that she wants to do something to him?"
"Hahaha." Liu Hua laughed softly and turned to her. "Even though Fei'er is our man, he is still secretive from us in some ways. Moreover, he still has many strange abilities, such as the invisibility ability that he showed us earlier, so I think he has his own plans for this man, and we'll find out once we've captured him."
"That's true; Fei'er is indeed too mysterious." Zhang Lingxue nodded in agreement with her. "Even so, I think it's a good thing, especially since many of his abilities are too absurd, so it would be better for him if not many people knew all his secrets, including us."
"Shall we go in now?"
"The sooner the better." After that, the Liu Sisters suppressed their presence, and Zhang Lingxue very carefully led them into the cave.
Even though their opponent was only one person, the three of them still acted carefully to avoid falling into the straw hat man's trap, especially since the people from the Pang Clan were too cunning and had many abnormal abilities.

Inside the cave, the straw hat man sat cross-legged, but his expression became irritated because his master kept urging him to quickly capture the people from the Chu Clan and destroy the Hua Assassins group. Unfortunately, the two people he chose to carry out those tasks still hadn't given him any news, as the woman had died two days ago, and Li Jue was also on the verge of death.
"That Li Jue is such a bastard! I've waited two days, but he still hasn't reported to me about the task I gave him." The man in the straw hat said it in an angry tone. "Tsk! That woman, too, is useless! She actually died in their hands!
However, I still don't understand how Liu Hua and the others could have seen through her actions, or whether I was too careless and didn't realize the presence of their other spies. If that's really true, then there's a big possibility that she already knows about my other plans.
Sigh, I'd better leave this place now, but my master will definitely punish me severely if I do fail to carry out his orders."
Just as the straw hat man was thinking about that, a red rope rushed towards him, startling him. Unfortunately, he didn't have time to dodge it, especially since a powerful aura from Zhang Lingxue directly pressed down on him from above, and their significant cultivation difference rendered him helpless.
Quickly, the red rope wrapped around the straw hat man's body, which immediately drained his strength at a fast pace, and the knot became tighter as he struggled. 'Fuck! What kind of rope is this? How can this drain my strength?
Moreover, this aura definitely doesn't belong to Liu Qingyu or Liu Hua, especially since my cultivation is still above theirs, so they wouldn't be able to suppress me like this.'
*Tap... Tap...*
The straw hat man's eyes immediately widened when he saw Zhang Lingxue walking leisurely towards him, followed by Liu Qingyu and Liu Hua. 'Shit! Why is the young miss of the Zhang Clan in this city? How can they find my hiding place? I didn't even tell Li Jue about this cave, so they shouldn't be able to find me, even if they captured him.'
"Are you confused about how we can find you?" Zhang Lingxue asked as she crouched beside him and sealed his cultivation directly, especially since Zhang Fei wanted him alive. "Hey, you are too confident in your ability to hide, but you don't know that there is a monster by our side. Not only your hiding place, but that person was also able to discover the hiding place of your master.
Even though Qiao Ran and the people from the Zhao Clan were irritated by Xuan Yu's actions, none of them had any intention of stopping him, especially since they needed help from his Xuan Clan, so it was no problem for them to sacrifice Zhao Ziqin.
Huan Ning casually said this to Xuan Yu. "You have my daughter now, so it would be better if you take her to the Central Region right now, or else Zhang Lingxue and the others will find out about this matter and snatch her from you again."
"Haha." Xuan Yu laughed at that and squeezed Huan Ning's buttocks, making Zhao Yun frown. "Hey, I've managed to get your daughter now, but I enjoyed dual-cultivating with you, and I still want to do it again with you. How about you forget your husband and go with me to my clan? That way, you can join us in dual cultivation, and I will satisfy both of you at once."
"Bastard!" Zhao Yun's anger immediately exploded after hearing that, and he moved to attack Xuan Yu. However, Qiao Ran immediately restricted his movements, especially since he was much stronger than him, and she didn't want her grandson to die in his hands. "Grandma! Let me go! I have to kill this bastard! He's done dirty things to my mother!"
"Yun'er, you-"
They wanted to persuade him, but Xuan Yu suddenly released his aura towards Zhao Yun, causing him to fall to the ground. "Do you think a weakling like you can kill me? It seems you've forgotten about the lesson I gave you a few days ago, huh? In that case, I will teach you an even more severe lesson, so you will never dare act impudent in front of me again."
"Young master Xuan!" Qiao Ran exclaimed softly as she used her aura to dispel Xuan Yu's. "I don't mean to be rude to you, but Yun'er is our only male descendant, so I hope you can spare him."
"Hmm?" Xuan Yu turned to Qiao Ran and narrowed his eyes as he felt irritated by her actions, but he ultimately nodded in agreement with her. "All right, I will spare this weakling this once, but you guys better educate him better so he knows his place. Otherwise, I won't care about that anymore, and I will kill him straight away if he dares to be impudent in front of me again."
Qiao Ran, Huan Ning, and Huan Chong breathed a sigh of relief because of that, especially since they really didn't want Zhao Yun to die. Meanwhile, Zhao Yun, who was already in his mother's arms, continued to angrily stare at Xuan Yu.
However, Xuan Yu no longer cared about Zhao Yun and walked away from the clan's main hall. He immediately took out his flying artifact to return to his clan in the Central Region. Unfortunately, before he could get the unconscious Zhao Ziqin to board it, she had already disappeared from his shoulders.
Not only was Xuan Yu shocked when he saw that, but even Qiao Ran and the others were also shocked by Zhao Ziqin's disappearance, and they immediately spread their senses to all corners of the clan.
However, they couldn't detect the intruder's presence in the clan, especially since Zhang Fei's teleportation ability was an instant movement, and Boitata also disguised his presence with her aura, so he was able to fool them easily.
*Boom*
Xuan Yu's aura instantly exploded, and his face became extremely red as his anger overflowed. "Who's there? Come out! Fight me like a man!"
